What brand Combination Wrenches grace your box?

[Farmall450]

I'd add that I also have Armstrong, Tekton, the old SK Wayne, Proto and Williams. I have too many wrenches.

Never say those words!

One can always have more!!

haha, thanks for the support!

I feel GarageJournal is like AlcoholicsAnonymous except the goal is to get you deeper into addition. And it's working.

Husky Sae 1/4 to 1 1/4
Husky Metric 10 to 19mm

cresenent ratcheting wrenches
Starting sets of Satin Wrights Wright Grip both Sae and Metric and taking over up to 1/ 1/4.

 

[BDT/NWMN]

3 SAE, 3 metric, and one?

Seven sets of Ratcheting box end combination wrenches:

Two Craftsman "freebe" sets that came with the 309 piece set I purchased for the low cost sockets.. One SAE and one Metric,, actually nice wrenches.

Two flex head GrearWrench sets... One SAE and one Metric

Three regular GearWrench sets.... One SAE and two Metric..

All seven sets are considered extra or secondary wrenches to the regular combination wrench sets I keep in each box. They are used to speed up work; but not for hard pulls or backing an impact wrench..

 

[wmartin]

SO combination SAE/MM
SO open end giant set SAE/MM
SO short combination SAE/MM
Stahlwille deep offset SAE/MM
SK ratcheting combination SAE/MM

and a set of Wurth deep offset MM that I probably should just sell since the Stahlwilles are perfectly fine.

oh, and a Williams Superwrench set.

 

[Snap_cap]

Primarily Craftsman Pro, I have two mostly full sets (no 20mm ); I jumped on that bandwagon early- and have a set of the shorter initially offered version along with the later longer wrench style.

SO flank drive+ and Craftsman RP

Intend to purchase a set of Wright Grips soon; thanks to opinions given here on GJ about them!

 

[rider9195]

Matco long combo, gearwrench reversible combo, snap on stubby combo.

What is the brand stamped in them? Clearly, Cman Pro and Industrial. Industrials are actually made by Apex tool group, which owns armstrong.

See, I'm just the opposite. I don't care who's name is on them, I care who made them and how good they are?

Wrenches made by SK and stamped "Craftsman Professional" are not the same wrenches as the one made by Armstrong and also marked "Craftsman Professional". They are both decent wrenches but IMO, one is better then the other.

Asking what name is stamped on the side of your wrench is almost as pointless as asking a stripper for her name!

Unless it's SK, Snap-on, Mac, Matco, Gearwrench....

3 different sets of Craftsman Raised Panel, one ratcheting, one regular and one China. No appreciable difference between Us and China.

I figured the list would be impressive...

 

[VCaddy]

Proto 500 metric combo set, and the cheap Sears Gearwrenches in SAE and metric. Got a long way to go in building the wrench drawer, need SAE combos, stubbies, flare nut wrenches, and so on.

 

[shockwave]

A mix of

Hazet
Matco stubby (Armstrong)
Matco ratcheting flex spline (kabo)
Gearwrench standard ratcheting
Gearwrench reversible ratcheting
Matco xlong flex/box spline (kabo)
Mountain deep spline flex (kabo)

Snap on open end/flare nut
Snap on open end/socket end (newer style)
Snap on open end/socket end (older style round handles)
Matco extra long combination (Armstrong)
Matco open end/socket end (bonney)

 

[Bigblue&Goldie]

I wouldn't expect Easco or Granco to make the list, but how does Allen make the list, but not Proto/Blackhawk?

Metric
-Easco Combo
-Kobalt Ignition
-Proto Ratcheting
-Craftsman Pro Stubby
-Granco Double Box End
-Blackhawk Double Open End
-Proto Flare
-Allen Crow

SAE
-Blackhawk Combo
-Blackhawk Ignition
-Blackhawk Ratcheting
-Craftsman Pro Stubby
-Blackhawk Double Box End
-Blackhawk Double Open End
-Blackhawk Flare
-KD Crow

My truck box has another Blackhawk SAE/MM combo wrench set and my service van has a KD full polish SAE/MM combo.

 

[jmm]

All my sets are hacked together. I like quality, but I'm insanely cheap so I started with Craftsman and only graduated to long pattern top tier brands as I found them (used, most often). The majority of mine are flank drive Snap-On combos, but I also have:

Snap-On FD+
Mac old style long pattern, precision torque (Facom design), and Knuckle Savers (the best, IMO)
Wrights -- no Wrightgrips, but I'd really like to try them
Proto ASD
Craftsman Pro and Industrial
Williams
Armstrong
Stahlwille
SK

That's my work box. My home box is even worse.

Include ratcheting, angle, or double box or open end and the list gets huge.

 

[mtnwkr]

Proto, KD and Gear wrench.

 

[Jim C.]

My combo wrench collection consists almost entirely of Craftsman RPs. I have an SAE Craftsman Industrial set and a few made by Gearwrench.

 

[low_dakota94]

Combos are Armstrong, Wright, snap on, Mac, Williams, and craftsman professional USA. Got almost all the bases covered lol. It's a big pieced together set.

My grandpa's collection, has more rare tools as I recently found out. Didn't know the Wonder Wrench was worth a few bucks.

I'd love to trade an Aussie, a Durachrome set for a US set of comparable value.

I've a friend in Oz that I should hit up to bring me some tools that are more-or-less unavailable here...

Hey, I'd like to see if we could work out a trade. If it's possible, please keep me in mind.

Will do, but he probably won't be coming back until Christmas, and I have the attention span of a gnat, so...
